Suppose that you wanted to investigate whether people tend to pick a “big” number (3 or 4) rather than a “small” number (1 or 2).
a. Based on the value of the standardized statistic obtained in the previous question, do you anticipate the p-value to be small? Why or why not?
b. Use an appropriate applet to find and report the p-value. Also, interpret the p-value. (Hint: Th e p-value is the probability of … assuming. …)
c. Based on the p-value, state the conclusion that you would draw about the research question of whether when people are asked to pick a number from the choices 1, 2, 3, and 4, they tend to pick a “big” number.
d. Do the p-value and standardized statistic provide similar strength of evidence? Do they both lead you to the same conclusion? Did you anticipate this? Why or why not?
